“Here I am Lord” also a Psalm but often used as an Entrance Piece as the Coffin is brought to the Alter for the Funeral Mass.
“Nearer My God to Thee” very Traditional and very appropriate as an Entrance Hymn.
“Be Not Afraid” a Traditional Hymn, one of the most Popular Psalms and would be sung between the 1st & 2nd Readings.
“You Raise Me Up” for such a modern song it has all the Stature of some of the biggest traditional Hymns. Mostly used at Communion.
“How Great Thou Art” perhaps the most traditional Hymm of them all. When requested is usually placed at Communion.
“Angel”, this Contemporary Song has been requested many times to follow the Eulogy, a Song of Comfort.
“Remember Me” a song of reflection, often requested to follow the Eulogy and also as the Coffin leaves the Church.
“The Irish Blessing” the opening line “May the Road rise to meet you” is an “Irish Saying” bidding you a smooth passage. a beautiful melody. Typically used as the Coffin leaves the Church.
